Special characters in NHL player names
Hi, one of many debates within WP:HOCKEY surrounding this was here, though there had been quite a few. Lacking a consensus to either restrict ourselves to the English alphabet, or go the other way and open up to every special character from other languages, we agreed that North American articles would hide diacritics and special characters, while international articles would show. This effectively duplicates standard usage in North America and in Europe. Regards, Resolute 15:00, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for making a report on Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, it appears that the editor you reported may not have engaged in vandalism, or the user was not sufficiently or appropriately warned. Please note there is a difference between vandalism and unhelpful or misguided edits made in good faith. If they continue to vandalise after a recent final warning, please re-report it. Thank you!

 * RE: 76.117.5.88 - thanks for your assistance. This user has once again removed something at the Death page that they did not like, without any need to do so (referral to an interview as being a fanzine or ezine, which is correct). Also, again the user left a negative, personal message on my talk page that I've since removed. Any assistance greatly appreciated as I do not wish to engage with the user directly.

Apostle in Triumph
I have removed the prod tag from Apostle in Triumph, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. I have nominated the article for deletion instead; the debate may be found at Articles for deletion/Apostle in Triumph, which overrides the need for a prod tag. I have explained my reasons for doing this in my nomination. Thanks! --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 00:54, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

WP:MUSIC
As per Notability_(music), Note that members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases. Members of two notable bands are generally notable enough for their own article. .

As neither has demonstrated notability outside of the band Decide, they do not require separate articles. Until you can demonstrate significance aside from this project (with reliable sources), they do not meet the requirements to have an article. Cheers Nouse4aname (talk) 18:04, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Gear information
Hi - Wanted to question you on the removal of links to an online resource that shows what music gear various wikipedia musicians use. The information on the site you've been removing is one of the best resources in the music world to find out about these people's gear, and helps to add vital information to some of the wikipedia articles for musicians. I'm new to wikipedia and am reviewing guidlines, but I feel you are doing a diservice to the community by marking things as links spam without even visiting them.

As an example, you removed the Zakk Wylde link I added which takes you to UberProAudio, which has a page full of Zakk's music gear - exclusive to the site, along with a complete listing of gear used. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackalslacker (talk • contribs) 19:57, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I did visit it, but being that you have added the same website to 5 articles already, I have reasons to believe that it is promotion from your side, and therefore it would be considered spam. Please see External_links. Besides, the same information is available on Zakk's official site already. Cheers. Erzsébet Báthory(talk 20:14, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

That is true that I added to a few articles today, but that doesn't mean the material isn't relevant. And yes, you did change the link to zakk's site, however that material is lacking, and doesn't have the 20 plus pictures or in depth detail that the resource I listed has. Most musician articles are lacking gear information because it is hard to come by, unless you are a behind the scenes source like UberProAudio. Alrighty, I can't fight with you - I'm done. Readers will have to look elsewhere to get the info they need. I'm not familiar with who you are, but you must own wikipedia, so I'll take your edits as the gold standard. Off to cancel my wikipedia account. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackalslacker (talk • contribs) 20:41, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Still sounds like promotion from your side, and even more so now. You are free to stay or go, it is not for me to decide. This is however guidelines, and they should be followed. Erzsébet Báthory(talk 20:55, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Interview with Kevin Dubrow
Elizabeth ,

What is up with removing the link to the Kevin Dubrow interview with Podshow Radio? That is one of Kevin's last audio interviews. There are other links to interviews with Quite Riot members in this article as well, why did you fill this one was a spam link? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.173.121.230 (talk) 02:02, 2008 September 9
 * Hello there. Please see WP:External_links, as it should explain it rather well. Erzsébet Báthory(talk 23:34, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Interview Links
Elizabeth,

Please read the below guideline to adding external links to a article. This link is not promoting a website it is a legitimate audio interview done last year with Kevin Dubrow.

Articles about any organization, person, web site, or other entity should link to the official site, if any. An article about a book, a musical score, or some other media should link to a site hosting a copy of the work if none of the "Links normally to be avoided" criteria apply. Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to copyright issues, amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks) or other reasons. Sites with other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article, such as reviews and interviews. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Psr214 (talk • contribs)
 * Hello again. Please don't forget to sign your talk page comments with four tildes. You have been trying to push links to this site on 20 articles. I think it is pretty safe to say that this is your site, and as Wikipedia is not meant as a tool of promotion, nor is it a collection of links, your links has to be treated as spam. External_links really explains it all. Erzsébet Báthory(talk 12:13, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Pink Floyd date range
Hi Elizabeth. You and I have been making many reverts to attempts to change Pink Floyd's "years of activity" in the infobox and article. You have been catching most of the attempts to change the start date from 1964 to 1965, and I've been in agreement because I thought consensus was reached for that. But looking at the talk page section, Talk:Pink Floyd, the opposite appears to be true, consensus is for 1965. I think this needs to be addressed if we are to continue reverting. We should provide a good reason for making it 1964 on the talk page. Either that, or agree that 1965 is correct. Any thoughts? --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 20:19, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh. You are right. I figured that 1964 was the consensus, since it was in the section header of the Syd Barrett lead era, and all. They do make a valid point about the fact that former Sigma 6 members can't be considered a part of Pink Floyd, however, so I will settle with that agreement. In my defense, I probably wouldn't have made any reverts if they would have bothered to state this using the summary box. :-) Erzsébet Báthory(talk 20:39, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll give an amen on that. It will be tricky making the personnel list match the infobox.  Have a look at the change and see if this will fly. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 21:01, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Den Saakaldte
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Den Saakaldte, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Greetings
I am a semi-retired user. I once made many edits every day but not only get one once in a long while. I happened to notice you talking to a user when I went to that user's talk page. Your contributions are impressive. Not to mention you seem to actually know your shit when it comes to black metal. Transilvanian Hunger is great. Not to mention your name is pretty killer. I would like to invite you to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Black Metal. You could be of great help there and both you and the project would most likely mutually benefit. At the project we strive to standardize and improve black metal-related articles. You can keep editing anything else you want to, of course, but at the project you would be able to see and discuss more about different issues/problems arising with black metal-related articles.

Hi Elisabeth, i got your message. Sorry if i but you to work undoing all the links i added. By the time i aw your message i was already at the N. Anyway, i like to make sure that i didn't mean any harm by adding them and was mere considering that people liking this music would like to visit a fan site. As we state on our website we do not have any commercial interest.

Besides that you also deleted our link from the subject Europop.

Hello Elizabeth Bathory, I noticed that you do quite a bit of vandal-reverting. Would you like me to grant your account rollback rights for you to use alongside your current vandal-fighting tools? Tell me what you think. Thanks. Acalamari 17:18, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Rollback granted. :) Just remember that it should be used to revert vandalism, and that misuse of the tool, either by reverting good-faith edits or revert-warring can lead to its removal.

RE: Reverting my edit on the Darkthrone page.
In the infobox, it says that they formed in 1988. However, the page belongs to the category of musical groups established in 1986. I was confused about that, so I did some research and decided to perform the edit of which you reverted. If the infobox says they formed in 1988, but yet they belong to a category of musical groups established of a different year, I think something should be done about that to avoid confusion. Do you have anything to say about this suggestion?

On an unrelated circumstance, it just so seems that I'm watching a television program about female serial killers, which featured Elizabeth Bathory as one of those people.

hi, i think i have a valid reason. I have listened various atmospheric sludge bands and i don't see any southern rock influence, another thing it's that some bands of sludge use elements of southern rock, but not all of the called "sludge metal" bands do so (sorry for my english, I'm from Spain) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.220.73.248 (talk) 01:01, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

I Have Faith In You No More
The years active for Faith No More are as I had them 1982-1998. Yes, they are doing a reunion tour in Europe and that is why I added in small writing (reunion 2009) to acknowledge that they had in fact announced reforming for the European tour. But the last time I looked, that was the only "proven-to-be-definite" announcement.

The biggest problem with your edits, is that on Wikipedia, we can only base information on what has been confirmed. Simply saying "there is talk about a US tour" means nothing if it is merely an assumption. On Wikipedia, we cannot simply go by assumptions. The only time we can act on what we've heard is if it has been proven by a TRUSTED SOURCE. Do you have a reference that GUARENTEES a US tour (a reference that mentions rumours is not good enough) because otherwise, you are to revert back to my edits.

Please either provide a reference, revert back to my edits or I may request involvement from an Administrator. --Sky Attacker (talk) 20:58, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Assuming that this is a one-time reunion would need a source as well, stating this exact thing. Otherwise you'd be drawing conclusions, which is not very neutral. For now a reunion has been announced, which the article reflects without drawing any conclusions. Erzsébet Báthory(talk 21:14, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

I know we're supposed to assume good faith on Wikipedia, but you come across as someone that likes to create inconvenience for other users on purpose. You seem to someone who enjoys frustrating innocent editors for no good reason, but I'll let you have your fun and let it be. By the way, Faith No More is my personal favorite band so one thing that is factual and coming from the best source possible, is that if they do confirm a US tour, I'll be the first to buy a ticket. --Sky Attacker (talk) 21:28, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Vikings

 * I am aware of no consensus. I was under the impression that as it doesn't describe an origin, such as "Scandinavian death metal", but just rather the style that it is played in, i.e. as an adjective, it wouldn't be capitalized. Feel free to correct or revert my edit though, as I could just as well be wrong. :-) Erzsébet Báthory(talk 12:47, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

adding links to reviews
Hi Elizabeth, we were in contact before and i was wondering if you could advice me on the following. In the link-guidelines there is a rule that says: "For albums, movies, books, and other creative works, links to professional reviews can be considered to add."

We review new albums on our website and i was wondering of it was allowed to add a link on the relevant artistpage to the review. for instance http://www.europopmusic.eu/Reviews/ReviewsQ2_09.html#review_LungoLaStrada

We're keeping the reviews on archive so they wont disappear in the future. Just let me know if it is allowed, better safe then sorry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bnbass (talk • contribs) 15:46, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

List of singer-songwriters
In cleaning up the List of Singer-Songwriters over the past few months, I've pretty much stuck by the definition you've outlined, but with some reservations that you seem to share. For example, two of the three artists you cited, Dylan and Young, haven't performed either solo or acoustic for decades. In fact, if we were to limit the list to strictly solo, acoustic-playing songwriters, what we'd have is a list of folk singers, many of whom would have to be eliminated as well because so few artists perfom - and even fewer, record - unaccompanied. I realize we could quibble more about that, but rather than rely on opinion, I've turned to Allmusic and other sources as guides.

Allmusic applies the term judiciously, usually identifying artists as singer-songwriters either at the start of their biographies or in the Styles lists that accompany the artists' pages. It also makes the distinction of separating non-S/S's from the real deal by using other terms, such as "singer" and "recording artist." Speaking strictly of the U.S. "traditional" list, I've checked about 90 percent of the artists against Allmusic, and the remainder against their Wikipedia articles and miscellaneous Internet sources. A few entries still need to reviewed, and I'm not claiming that what's here is error-proof, but at this point, the list is in considerably better shape than it's ever been, and it won't take much more work to complete what I've started.

As for the "other" U.S. list, I've moved a fair number of artists into this category from the main list and also removed a similar number who don't belong in either category. I haven't done a full sweep of the "other" artists and recognize that this category is problematic in terms of lacking more definitive criteria. For example, Allmusic doesn't use the term singer-songwriter with either Stevie Wonder or Johnny Cash, but does use it indirectly with Garth Brooks and Bruce Springsteen, yet all are highly notable singers and songwriters within their given genres, and hence their inclusion on this more liberally construed list. Also, there are several artists here that, in my opinion and Allmusic's, belong in the main category, for example, Tori Amos, Norah Jones and Ben Folds, and I intend to move them there shortly.

None of the above addresses the issues I raised. The questions are: Is an "expert" needed for this article and are citations needed to verify the inclusion of artists? My response is that I've brought a slew of expert sources into the vetting via Allmusic and other publications, including Rolling Stone, Crawdaddy, NME, etc. It's just that I don't see the point in doubling the length of the article by linking hundreds of artists to their Allmusic pages or similar articles elsewhere. And I say that as an unwavering champion of citations (check my contributions). As for "experts", if one is needed here, then every Wikipedia article should have one. Just for one broad example, most artists both of us would object to as being described as singer-songwriters are characterized as exactly that in the openings of their Wikipedia pages and without any citations to back up these claims. Allreet (talk) 02:55, 9 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, Elizabeth. I've added a more succinct response to your comments on my talk page. Upon further reflection, I believe our major differences come down to what I think is a very serious issue: the definition given on the S/S list page. This is extremely narrowly construed, and essentially an editor simply made it up in trying to be helpful. However, no major, contemporaneous source could possibly agree with it; otherwise, S/S as a category would pretty much be frozen in time, that is, roughly in the period 1962-72. Looking forward to hearing from you. Allreet (talk) 15:15, 9 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Me again. I'm looking for support on the idea of breaking out the US singer-songwriter list from the main article. The US list is already a few hundred or so artists in length, and I'm completely willing to source every artist in the list, but not in the main article because there's no possible way to vet the sections on foreign countries and the article is already too long to accommodate a list of references of equal length. I believe the same should also be done with the UK list and for the same reasons. In both cases, I believe it would be a great improvement and would easily satisfy the sentiments behind the templates on the main article. Of course, I'd also seek support from other editors, but since you've already shown an interest in this and related subjects, I thought it wouldn't hurt to get your feedback. Thanks.

A favor
Greetings, E- I am the person who added the infobox, photo, and additional overlinks and needed links (just a couple) to the article for Terry Reid. I seek out photographs for biography articles that need them. I'm not a new editor; but I have a request. There are a handful of images that I've been searching for over 2 years to find. A pro photographer has a choice of selling two of those I've been looking for- (a Rolling Stones-period photo of Mick Taylor, and another of Gram Parsons), as well as many more vintage photos of the members of the Stones, The Kinks, and more in a book deal, or, changing their status through Creative Commons for use on the Wikipedia. She isn't familiar with the Wikipedia and is really wary, because of the photos' value. We keep the photographer's attribution in many biography articles in the caption, (esp. in Start-ranked pages), so PLEASE leave her name in the caption on the Terry Reid aricle, just for the next few days or so. When I can reach her and show that all the info is there by clicking the photo, it will be OK, but she's traveling, and there's no email contact but the last one today saying I forgot to place her link back, but she's gone now, and won't be using email for the next week. This was a test case to earn her trust. I don't want her to think we stole her property under some false pretense- esp. while she is changing from copyright now on the other photos. Please. I've been requesting -and uploaded hundreds of photos, check my userpage if you don't believe it, but I don't want to loose her trust, and this chance. Please understand. Thanks. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 11:43, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, okay. Thanks for letting me know. No worries. You can readd it. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised when the photo turned up. Erzsébet Báthory(talk 12:11, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * A loving thanks! Yes, you know how we all end up checking links to other pages to see if they're proper? When I surf into another biography page as I did with Terry Reid, if I notice a missing infobox or photo, I try to find a photo, and then add an infobox. To populate the infobox, I must read through the article, so often I do some cleanup (some pages it's so major, it's just amazing). Since Reid's page was so tidy, I over-wikified, having expected another mess! I'm happy that the photo is OK with you! I'm really hoping the same photographer will allow photos I mentioned, and a good one of John Bonham so the publicity photo in his infobox that isn't BY-SA or GDFL can be removed. We really, really need Mick Taylor and Gram Parsons, too. Thanks again! --Leahtwosaints (talk) 22:24, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Aion, DPS vs DD
Other sections of this article use DPS, not DD. DPS is used in game as well, and is noted on the Damage_per_second article has having a noun usage within MMORPGs. I reverted the edit from DD to DPS because of the inconsistency and the lack of usage for the term "DD" within the game. Also, the gladiator class has a focus on AoE damage, in response to your edit reason of DD = Direct Damage. The user who originally made the edit from DPS to DD meant DD as "Damage Dealer". ferret (talk) 14:38, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. I believe the 2nd case would need a rewrite though, as it mentions DPS and then immediately afterwards AoE, as if it is something different. Erzsébet Báthory(talk 16:28, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I feel the whole class section needs a rewrite, the difference between "Special ability" and "Play style" is unclear, and for some classes identical or lacking. I'll have to give thought to it. I've tweaked the gladiator section to be clearer, I hope. ferret (talk) 16:45, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Maybe a checkuser request for all these names? Wildhartlivie (talk) 21:27, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

 * The really interesting part of all of this is that another editor has been complaining to me about Saa19952 and suspected sock puppetry, and was trying to push me into filing a case, although I had none of the evidence. Then I noticed the edits that I added to the case yesterday, which fairly confirmed to me that Saa19952 and Gellar55 were the same person.
